Hi Sebastien,
Gaubschat Fahrzeugwerke were what we'd call coachbuilders, they produced the bodywork for vehicles, lorries etc. Without finding more data plates from your site it is difficult to say for sure that it was from a Büssing bus. Nice finds as always.

Yesterday my friend and I were in the north of Stalingrad... „Nordriegelstellung“ as it was called by the Germans

After two weeks, yesterday we were back there...

Again, we found a big hole with a lot of shells 8.8









We met a local resident




Result = 27 shells

A few days ago I was in the south of Volgograd, Be****vka point.

This battle field near the village Ehli (Elhi village burnt down during the Battle of Stalingrad).

In the German trench, I found other military debris, including the bottle.



It is a dangerous discovery ... the famous Molotov cocktail ...

Is that a detonator attached to the bottle?

Awesome 88 shells! I'm sure they will clean up beautifully.

And wow a Molotov? How do you dispose of something like that?

[Sebastien]

Is that a detonator attached to the bottle?

I dont know. These glass tubes are not like the fuses from the book-instruction...
